Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, specifically to obtain private medical records from Dr. Patrick King.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to ensure substantial compliance with a prior joint motion for remand by failing to address whether the January 2024 JMR was substantially complied with, particularly as related to VA's duty to assist by obtaining private medical records.
